No we just need Cory in the house
March 24, 2019 @ 7:40 pm
So… Fumination is just crying that they didn’t purchase the Evangelion license in time. They need to 6 months of saved money in order to purchase it.
March 24, 2019 @ 7:41 pm
But when will they put it
March 24, 2019 @ 7:44 pm
I’m sorry, but Neon Genesis isn’t even that great.
March 24, 2019 @ 7:46 pm
I think this is false, because Netflix is a better tool to get people into anime, where funimation now is a tool for those already invested in anime and they’re tool buffers too much
March 24, 2019 @ 7:46 pm
Dude, the real question is what is the name of this song?!?
March 24, 2019 @ 7:49 pm
Still sour they wont even stream Bebop in preparation for the live action series
March 24, 2019 @ 7:49 pm
Let me guess, it´s not going to be at European Assflix. =/
March 24, 2019 @ 7:49 pm
Netflix has got one thing that Funimation Now doesn’t have, international iavailability!
Netflix is available in 190 countries (and counting), while Funimation Now is only available in 6 countries. (U.S., Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand)
March 24, 2019 @ 7:52 pm
It’s fine until they make live action out of it
March 24, 2019 @ 7:52 pm
Maybe just make the Funimation streaming service available worldwide and then come back and say that SMH.
Seriously, the guy isn’t acknowledging how Netflix acquiring it means a worldwide exposure to one of the most beloved anime classics.
March 24, 2019 @ 7:53 pm
Anybody know the song playing in the background by any chance?
March 24, 2019 @ 7:53 pm
Cry me a river, Gen Fukunaga. They got the global license.
March 24, 2019 @ 7:54 pm
The livestream!?
March 24, 2019 @ 7:56 pm
Then wtf did You waited for all these years Funimation? Why didn’t license it? Funimation just salty. Maybe Funimation would do a better job if they would licence it, but too late. Salty dumbasses. .. p.s. atlhough they blocked in my country.
March 24, 2019 @ 7:56 pm
Netflix is just there for the streaming and money not Funimation is there for the fans if Netflix See’s that it’s not getting views it will cancel it
March 24, 2019 @ 7:57 pm
Just give me a Blu-ray and I’ll be happy.
March 24, 2019 @ 7:58 pm
Whatever pick up monster instead.
March 24, 2019 @ 7:58 pm
So they have more money to spend..who cares!!!
March 24, 2019 @ 8:04 pm
Funimation streaming service is absolute trash.
March 24, 2019 @ 8:05 pm
So what if they don’t have the streaming rights, maybe they can work out a deal with Netflix and finally release this turkey on blu ray along with death and rebirth and end of evangelion.
March 24, 2019 @ 8:06 pm
Oh no now people who are in unfortunate regions won’t get a not available in your region screen. How dare Netflix provide for the world
March 24, 2019 @ 8:08 pm
Weeaboos below my comment…
March 24, 2019 @ 8:11 pm
I think everyone is missing something… Netflix isn’t always good with their anime.
March 24, 2019 @ 8:12 pm
Lol I really want to see Attack On Titan season 2 and 3 on Netflix, and this must be why they haven’t shown it.
March 24, 2019 @ 8:12 pm
A HD version for End of evangelion! Thats the best thing i’ve heard all year
March 24, 2019 @ 8:12 pm
Don’t blame Netflix for dishing out the money for a classic, at least on Netflix people will actually get to see it
March 24, 2019 @ 8:13 pm
#fucknetflix
March 24, 2019 @ 8:13 pm
He’s just salty he got outbid for the streaming rights lmao
March 24, 2019 @ 8:13 pm

March 24, 2019 @ 8:14 pm
This show worth the watch?
March 24, 2019 @ 8:16 pm
Whats the name of the song on the background?
March 24, 2019 @ 8:17 pm

March 24, 2019 @ 8:17 pm

March 24, 2019 @ 8:18 pm

March 24, 2019 @ 8:21 pm
Because Funimation operates globally, right?
March 24, 2019 @ 8:23 pm
Implying funimation actually cares outside the US
March 24, 2019 @ 8:26 pm
People, this means we won’t get the Blu-Ray anytime sooner….
March 24, 2019 @ 8:28 pm
Ya funimation is getting a pretty bad track record lately so lets netflix handle things now
March 24, 2019 @ 8:28 pm
Watch netflix make a live action movie because of this
March 24, 2019 @ 8:31 pm
It sad , I agree them on
March 24, 2019 @ 8:31 pm
Thank goodness Netflix got the series as their service is available virtually worldwide today, whilst Funimation is limited to only a few countries.
March 24, 2019 @ 8:34 pm

March 24, 2019 @ 8:36 pm
